    Now Congo's VMK launches a smartphone

    The Congo-Brazzaville company has released an African-designed Android-powered smartphone.

    VMK, the Congo-Brazzaville-based website design, application development and consulting company that released a 7-inch tablet computer in 2011, has now released its own smartphone, called the Elikia.

    The handset, which costs US$150, offers a 3,5-inch, 320×480-pixel display and is powered by a 650MHz processor and has 512MB RAM. The Elikia has a 5-megapixel primary camera and a VGA secondary camera and supports 2G and 3G connections.

    The Elikia also includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS and has a micro-SD card slot that supports micro-SD up to 32GB.

    It is powered by Android 2.3, but uses the Holo Launcher application to make the interface appear to run more like version 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich.
